New Zealand Finance is produced by our editorial team to help New Zealanders understand their financial options in plain English. This page explains how our content is created and what we stand for.
How our content is produced
Our guides and comparisons are researched from publicly available information, with a focus on primary New Zealand sources — the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ), Inland Revenue (IRD), the Financial Markets Authority (FMA), and providers’ own published information.
We use AI tools to help research and draft our content, which is then reviewed before publishing. We think it’s important to be open about how our content is made.
Because financial rates, products and rules change often, we link to official sources where we can and encourage you to confirm current details directly with the relevant provider or authority.
Our commitment to accuracy
We take reasonable care to be accurate, but we don’t claim to be error-free, and we’re actively working to keep our information current. We welcome corrections — if you spot something wrong or out of date, please tell us via our contact page, and we’ll review and, where needed, correct it as promptly as we can. See our Editorial Policy for more on how we work.
General information, not advice
Everything we publish is general information, not personalised financial advice. For advice tailored to your situation, consult a licensed financial adviser — you can find one through the FMA. See our Financial Disclaimer.
How we’re funded
New Zealand Finance is free to use and funded through affiliate and referral partnerships. You should assume that where we feature or prominently link to a provider, we may have a commercial relationship with them — see How We Make Money for the full picture.
